With such a move, CCB became the first major Chinese bank to support Firefox. This is very significant and positive news for Mozilla, because online banking has been the most visible area of web incompatibility problems in China. Until now, all major Chinese banks supported an IE-only solution with ActiveX-based technology, forcing users to use Microsoft Windows/IE and seriously lagging behind their international peers. CCB’s breakthrough represents just the beginning of this ground shift and we fully expect that other banks will follow suit in the coming months.

If the China Bank for Construction is backing up Firefox in China, it must mean that the government is finally willing to be more permissive about the internet browsing and use policy and will allow people better access to information. This is indeed great news.Equipment Rental

This is really good news! Hopefully this represents a shift away from the dreadful IE6 😉
